A Loganville woman is now in Forsyth County Sheriff’s Office
custody after she allegedly led deputies on a high-speed pursuit down Ga. 400
early Tuesday morning.

Christina Lee Waggoner, 44, of Loganville was arrested and
charged with driving under the influence, fleeing/attempting to elude for a
felony offense, reckless driving and several other traffic offenses after her
vehicle was forcibly stopped by patrol cars on Ga. 400 north, just south of the
Dawson County line.

According to sheriff’s office spokesman, Cpl. Doug
Rainwater, a patrol deputy first attempted to stop Waggoner at about 1:54 a.m.
on Ga. 400 north, south of Exit 14, for allegedly failing to maintain
lane.

Rainwater said that Waggoner exited Ga. 400 at Exit 14 “as
if she was going to stop for the deputy,” but the vehicle then crossed over
Hwy. 20 at speed and returned to Ga. 400 north.

“At this point, he called out a pursuit and we activated our
stop sticks (spike strips) at Exit 17,” Rainwater said.

Waggoner’s vehicle, according to Rainwater, hit the spike
strips at Exit 17 and continued on deflated tires at a higher rate of speed
until it was finally forced to a stop near the Dawson County line by deputies
executing a pit maneuver, a method of forcing a vehicle to turn and stop.

Rainwater said that Waggoner then surrendered to deputies
and was taken into custody.

Waggoner is being held in the Forsyth County Jail under a
$11,350 bond.
